AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY REMAINS THE FIRST AND THE MAJOR TITANIUM CONSUMER

Three major trends of titanium application for aircraft building:

1.fabrication of items of complex space configuration:
hatch and door edging where moisture is likely to be accumulated (high corrosion resistance of titanium is used)
skins which are affected by engine combustion product flow, flame preventing fire safety-proof membranes (high temperature of melting and chemical inactivity of titanium is used)
thin-walled lead pipes of air system (minimum thermal titanium extension ratio compared to all other metals is used)
floor decking of the cargo cabin (high strength and hardness is used)
 

2.fabrication of designated high-loaded assemblies and units
landing gear 
fastening elements (brackets) of the wing
hydrocylinders 
 

3.engine part manufacture .

The following is manufactured from titanium alloys for aircraft applications:

Ailerons, panel and swivel wing assemblies, spar walls, panels, brackets, steering wheels, wedge meshes, air intake ducts, lead pipes, frames, leading edge flaps and flaps, hydraulic systems, fasteners and a number of other parts.
